A FINISHING SPIRIT
Zechariah 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
Zechariah 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
As I was in church praying The Holy Spirit ministered this scripture to me and led me to share with His people.
There is an oil to start or innovate. There is also an oil to finish. Many times many ministries have the zeal to start an evangelism, a prayer rally but along the way it collapses. It's either most of these initiatives were not birthed by the Spirit. They were either borne out of the flesh or people run ahead of God when God begins His work so sometimes we have revival in churches and the few weeks ahead people go back into passivity. So in Zechariah 4:6 The Lord told Zerubabel it was not by his might nor by his power. Zerubabel together with the people of God had laid the foundation of the temple. Today we are His temple. We are being built by Him. Any thing that comes from the flesh will only last for a season. How do you know it's from the flesh? When your words, thoughts, actions are not directed towards Him. You seek to work for Him but in truth you are seeking your own honour. So in Zechariah 4:9 The Lord says to Zerubabel, boy you have laid this foundation through my guidance. I'm not going to leave you clueless. We'll accomplish this together. You have to learn to start with Him and trust Him every moment to lead you. Whatever God Himself plants, He harvests. May you receive the grace of a finisher. May you not burn out along the way. His children are conquerors.
